First time i've seen that bro..very nice
Hard to see any player lasting that long these days bro16 years the Rangers captain.
I would think that is a record never to be equalled.
never mind as a captainHard to see any player lasting that long these days bro
Your welcome bro
I would think that John Greig was club captain from 1965-1966 season until his last game in 1977-1978. He may have been captain for some games in 1964-1965 after Eric Caldow was playing fewer games or had left the club and Jim Baxter suffered a broken leg against Rapid Vienna.Fantastic article - thanks very much for posting saltcoatsblu. As for the record 16 years - I always thought that John Greig surpassed it? Maybe not - I'm off to try and find out

Always thought Tiger had the look of James Cagney about him, but Tiger was a hard man in real life.
I believe he once tried to get off a stretcher to continue playing in a game...with a broken ankle.
I remember this every time I see a player holding his wee leggy in agony after getting a kick on the shin.
What a true Ranger,born in a tiny village just behind Cumbernauld and just before Airdrie,I drive through it regularly,one tiny grass park, and I always wonder what house the great man was born in,if it is still standing.
His granddaughter posts on here (or used to).
Wonder what the user name could be. Your avatar is one of my favourite photographs of Tiger Shaw. I am a dinosaur at posting photos on here but the other favourite is of him holding the Scottish Cup and has a big smile on his face.Yep, with a cunningly disguised user name
Indeed.Yep, with a cunningly disguised user name

Love the thought that one of the hardest men in Scottish football history and a genuine Rangers legend gets a sherriking from his wife for not having his teeth in.Is that the one where he has nae teeth? If so my gran always HATED that picture.
Used to give him into a row for it every time it appeared somewhere. "You might have pit yer bliddy teeth in" the other one he used to get a row for was one of him leaning on the goal post with his working gear on and the jumper had holes in it when he was on the ground staff, talking to former team mate and current manager Willie Waddell, who was suited and booted! "Look how smart Willie is - an you're like a bliddy scruff!"
There - that's now just brought a big smile to MY face, remembering the guy you all know as a fearless skipper taking a row from the boss for not having his teeth in in a pic and having a hole in his jumper!
That sounds like the photo. These threads are great as in addition to reading about a Rangers great, it also brings back memories to me being told as a boy what a great team your grandad played in.Is that the one where he has nae teeth? If so my gran always HATED that picture.

couple of picsThought I would give this thread a wee boost up today of all days - given that it was his birthday today. A nice wee win tonight would be a great present for him (and his daughter who shares his birthday!!!)
The top photo - there’s the James Cagney look I mentioned earlier.couple of pics
As hard as any man is or thinks he is, we all know who the real bosses areIs that the one where he has nae teeth? If so my gran always HATED that picture.
